Shaping Membership, Defining Nation explores and interprets the
social politics, religion, and history of Africans (Habshis/Siddis)
in Karnataka of South India. Focusing on the continuous dialog
between African Indian historical formations and contemporary power
structures, Pashington Obeng clearly explains the process of
constructing socio-political and religious mores to respond to
India's religious, socio-economic, and caste systems. The study
begins by contextualizing the history of Africans in India before
moving onto a sociological study. Pashington Obeng examines the
formal and non-formal religious customs that stress African Indian
agency in appropriating and shaping new forms of Indianness as well
as African Diasporic realities. The book concludes with an
important analysis of African Indian folksongs and dances.Shaping
Membership, Defining Nation is a ground-breaking study of interest
to scholars of African History and contemporary Indian society.
